    Information displayed on the LCD is commonly referred to as a “page.” The GPS 95 works with softkey operation. At the bottom of the screen is a list of page options. To select a different page, press the appropriate softkey below the desired option.

  • Page 14: Cursor And Fields

    CURSOR AND FIELDS Cyclic Field Confirmation Field The area of the page which is highlighted in reverse video is called the cursor. The cursor may be moved to locations on the page called fields which allow you to enter data or change options. You will encounter five types of fields.
  • Page 15 Pressing GOTO allows you to instantly define a destination waypoint and plot a course from present position to that destination. (See Chapter 4.) Pressing AUTOSTOre allows you to capture your present AUTO position instantaneously. (See Chapter 7.) Pressing NAV allows you to view position and navigation information as well as the Map Display.

  • Page 19: Turning The Gps 95 Off

    2.8 TURNING THE GPS 95 OFF 2.9 LEARNING TO USE THE GPS 95 If you are using the GPS 95 for the first time, you are encouraged to read Chapter 3 which introduces the GPS 95's waypoint features, Chapter 4 on the use of the GOTO key, and Chapter 5 for navigating to a waypoint.

  • Page 20: Waypoints

    CHAPTER 3 WAYPOINTS The GPS 95 allows you to store up to 500 user waypoints. A basic waypoint consists of an identifier (up to six letters and/or numbers) and its location. You will have the opportunity to use waypoints extensively while operating the GPS 95.

  • Page 21: Waypoint Definition Page

    3.1 WAYPOINT DEFINITION PAGE The Waypoint Definition Page allows you to create, edit and review waypoint information. This page displays the following waypoint information: 1) Waypoint identifier 2) Location (latitude/longitude or grid system) 3) Reference waypoint identifier 4) Bearing from reference waypoint to selected waypoint 5) Distance from reference waypoint to selected waypoint 6) User comments Waypoints are selected by the identifier that you assign.

  • Page 22: Creating Waypoints

    When a waypoint identifier has been entered that does not exist in memory the GPS 95 will assume you wish to create a new waypoint. You may create a new waypoint using one of two methods: direct position entry (latitude/ longitude or grid system) or relative to an existing waypoint.
  • Page 23 To create a waypoint offset from a reference waypoint... · With the Waypoint Definition Page displayed, press the right arrow key until the cursor is over the waypoint identifier field. · Enter the identifier of the new waypoint using the alphanumeric and arrow keys.

  • Page 24: Waypoint List

    3.3 WAYPOINT LIST The Waypoint List Page allows you to view all stored waypoints in your GPS 95. The list may be scrolled, with the arrow keys, to view all the waypoints. From this page, waypoints may be selected for deletion, renaming or to activate a GOTO.

  • Page 25: Using Waypoints

    CLR to cancel. 3.4 USING WAYPOINTS You may use waypoints on many GPS 95 pages. A waypoint is selected by entering its identifier and pressing ENT. The GPS 95 also offers a waypoint scanning feature which will simplify waypoint entry.

  • Page 26: Reviewing Waypoints

    You may limit the scan to the level that you desire. For example, if you enter “C” the GPS 95 will scan through all waypoints that begin with the letter “C”, but, if you enter “CRY” the GPS 95 will display only those waypoints that begin with “CRY”.

  • Page 27: Proximity Alarm Waypoints

    “Proximity Overlap”. As long as the overlap remains this message will be displayed each time the GPS 95 is turned on. (WARNING: If you enter the overlap area the unit will only inform you of the nearest waypoint.)

  • Page 28: Nearest Waypoints

    3.7 NEAREST WAYPOINTS An important feature on the GPS 95 is the ability to display up to nine nearest waypoints within 200 nautical miles of your present position. The bearing and distance to each nearest waypoint is also displayed. The nearest waypoint feature can be critical in finding a safe landing location in the event of an in- flight emergency.

  • Page 35: Map Configuration

    5.3 MAP CONFIGURATION The Map Configuration Page allows you to tailor the GPS 95’s Map Display to your preferences. As previously stated, the Map Display can show waypoints, the active route, your track history and/or waypoint identifiers.

  • Page 36: Present Position

    As mentioned earlier, the Present Position Page is automatically displayed when the GPS 95 is turned on and a position is obtained. The top line of this page displays your ground track (TRK) and ground speed (GS). The next two lines indicate your current position according to the coordinate format and map datum selected.

  • Page 45: Routes

    (Active to waypoint) Active Leg KTUL The GPS 95 offers a route navigation feature for you to navigate along a pre- defined sequence of waypoints. The GPS 95 route capability allows you to create and store twenty routes, numbered 0 through 19, containing up to 30 waypoints each. Routes 1 to 19, the storage routes, can be activated to travel either in the order you entered the waypoints or in reverse order.

  • Page 46: Route Definition

    There are 3 route pages. You may select the desired page by pressing RTE and, if needed, the appropriate softkey. Route Definition Page 6.1 ROUTE DEFINITION The Route Definition page allows you to create, change, review, copy, and activate routes. Remember that route 0 is always the active route. If you create a route in route 0, you should copy it into an empty storage route (1- 19).

  • Page 47: Creating And Copying Routes

    On the route number field, you may choose between routes 0 through 19 with CLR. Next to this is a route action field which allows you to activate the route, clear the route, copy the route to another location, or invert the order of the waypoints in a route and activate it.

  • Page 48: Activating And Inverting Routes

    6.3 ACTIVATING AND INVERTING ROUTES Routes are also activated on the Route Definition Page. You may activate any route in the displayed order, or in reverse order. (NOTE: Remember, when a new route is activated, the previous contents of route 0 will be overwritten.

  • Page 49: Deleting Routes

    · If you attempt to add a waypoint to a route that already contains 30 waypoints, you will be informed with the message, “Route is Full”. NOTE: You may also edit a route from the Active Route Page. (See Section 6.6.) 6.5 DELETING ROUTES You may delete an unwanted route from the Route Definition Page.

  • Page 50: Route List

    The waypoint list displays route waypoints starting with the “active to” waypoint. For each waypoint, additional information is available. The first column displays Distance (DIS). The second column is a cyclic field that displays Estimated Time Enroute (ETE, in hours/minutes or minutes/seconds, as appropriate), Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), or Desired Track (DTK).

  • Page 51: Autostore

    The Autostore function allows you to capture your position at the touch of a button for future reference. This function saves your current position as a waypoint. Additionally, you may record your navigation path by inserting the captured waypoints directly into a route. The Autostore Page displays the waypoint identifier, captured position and optional storage route.
